Tom Ford

Tom Ford combines the commercial contracting skills of an attorney with the savvy of a diplomat to ensure that relationships between CNS’ clients and suppliers go smoothly. A veteran planner and negotiator, Tom has managed supplier and customer relations for Hewlett-Packard, Affiliated Computer Services and Xerox on behalf of customers that included Nike and GM. At CNS he has worked with such major clients as Boeing, Disney, Marriott, MGM and Mercury Insurance.

Tom enjoys solving challenging problems while ensuring that CNS’ clients can focus on their business instead of worrying about the many details of an IT project. In one instance, he ensured that a Fortune 50 company in the resort industry could set up 6,000 employees with new network-enabled iPhones, despite a limited budget and only one week to find technicians with the required skills.

An alumnus of the University of Oregon, Tom holds a B.Sc. degree in political science with a minor in economics.

He has earned the CCM Associate certification from the International Association for Contract & Commercial Management.
